Ok, what am I doing wrong??
System:
Windows XP with a dual head display card.
I run the bigpole.exe and then drag it over to the second monitor. I select the 40 wide display and it opens the display which is extremely small. I click on full screen and it pops the the bigpole display back in the primary monitor and I want it to be in the secondary display. I have the resolution set on the secondary monitor as low as I can go and I still have a small display, much smaller than I need. I would really like a full display for the customers to be able to read. HELP!!!!

80 wide
marcussd,
Windows XP will just not display DOS programs at 40 characters wide. Fortunatly the most useful mode of for BIGPOLE is 80 wide with scrolling which of course displays 80 charactrers wide.

Oops
Oops, you are correct the options are 20 wide, 40 wide, and 40 wide with scrolling. The program has so many options that sometimes I forget what some of them are.
Unfortunately I do not have XP here so I so not know what is causing the problem. Although several other XP users have said that they got it to work.
I guess we will have to wait until an XP pro stops in here to offer some advice.

No problem at all. Thanks!
I did figure out a way to make it at least work. I did a desktop wallpaper with our logo, and a thank you for your business type message that will show on the right side of the screen and I have the scrolling display on the left side and stretched the screen out. It will at least work for now. Will have to mess with it a little bit so I know what exact settings I have it at so when I am not there others will know what to do if something goes wrong.
Thanks for your help, I do appreciate it.
